It would be correct if the real T61String encoding for this characters was used. Unfortunately if Netscape and MSIE can use IS08859-1 in T61String, they can't interpret the real, correct T61 encoding in T61String. > Characters which can't be represented as ISO8859-1 can still be handled > with the latest OpenSSL 0.9.7 development version.

Do UTF8 strings crash as many applications as BMP strings or less ? ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
